A member of the Yuendumu community, the artist here celebrates the Mina Mina Dream, which belongs to the women of her family. The women of her lineage go there to gather Ngalyipi (wild vine), a plant used to weave straps for carrying water containers (Ngami) as well as bags for storing food. Ngalyipi is represented on the canvas through vine-like motifs.

The story of this Dream - or Jukurrpa -  associated with the plant is passed on to young men during initiation ceremonies.
